“Such a neat space, many rooms to shops for your favorite items or gifts! Love that they help give back to the community. The owners were so kind and warm and really enjoyed visiting, definitely a hidden gem to check out!”
“Perfect place to find gifts. A friend lost her mom and I was able to find a piece that fit the occasion. Always friendly service. I went to the downtown location but was excited to hear that they have a location in Des Moines where I recently moved.”
“If you like birds then you need to go here! You will learn more about birds, habitat, food, and feeders. Pete is person you need to know and he loves to help. I visit every time I'm in town.”
“I love What a Gem! It is the cutest little shop! I have bought so many cute things from What a Gem! Just looking around my house I see adorable cactus bookends, a super cute little repurposed record cabinet, and tons of cute accessories! Even if you don’t buy something every time (which you should because #supportsmallbusiness) it is always full of good ideas.It is an occasional shop so I always check on social media to find out when the store is going to be open. If I happen to be in the area (I live out of town) I always prioritize a stop in. It is such a fun little store”
“I always order from here even when I'm hungry for fresh tasting fruit no matter what time of the year, tastes like it was just picked out of a garden and full of flavor!”
“Tiny store with so much to offer. If you are looking for crystals, rocks, gems, etc this is your place. The associates are helpful and friendly. There is so much there that even with a few trips you will realize you still haven't seen everything. Prices are great, plenty of merchandise to choose from and all different price ranges.”
